Why Go To Romania?

First time visitor to House Hraka? Wondering if everything we produce could possibly be as brilliant/stupid/evil/pedantic/insipid/inspired as the post you just read? Check out the Hraka Essentials, the (mostly) reader-selected guide to Hraka's best posts, and decide for yourself.

I asked a friend from Caerphilly about this, and he wasn't sure, but said that when a similar thing happens in Wales, it's generally because of a shoe mixup. The farmer and the sheep go for the Wellies at the same time, and there they are, both with their hind legs stuck in the boot legs. What an embarassing situ that is. Nobody has ever witnessed it actually happening other than the farmers, but my Welsh pal assures me that it's because sheep are deviously fast and hard to capture. Er, on film.

And Bigwig, I know the caption says "Romania," but are you sure that isn't the name of a town in West By God Virginny?

Is that a sow or a boar? Can't tell from the angle. While backdooring a boar is definitely not within the confines of the current Romanian Code of Law, action of that sort, when apllied to a sow, may be. Oh course, this can cause complications, the least of which is Mad Sow's Disease.
